I've never heard anyone mention oCam.
It's either free or a one-time couple of dollars. Does the job. I'm sure there's 'better' but it's such a basic task it comes down to personal preference. It was on the cnet recommended downloads and it didn't come loaded with ads and nags etc so it's ended up being the one I use.

What I do need though is a good video player with varispeed ff & rw, incl frame by frame both ways. I've tried VLC and wasn't impressed. It's annoying not having even the same level of control as an old SVHS with a jog wheel.

Use OBS(google it). It's used by gamers and content creators to stream to platforms such as twitch/youtube and can also record local files. It's free and there are tons of tutorials on how to set it up available on youtube.

You can record to a local file, set the resolution and any hotkeys you want for various tasks (start/stop recording, use push-to-talk for your microphone etc.) all in all plenty of functionality.
Lastly and most importantly (for me) -- no watermark.

It's quite something looking back on trades, really showcases mistakes and how different we can become in the decision-making process in the moment when we are affected by emotion vs. when we are thinking logically watching in a relaxed setting.

Have fun guys

Thanks eightbo. I've installed it and just used it briefly. It looks quite good and easy to use.

I'll put it out there again ...

High-speed scrubbing Shaun? I'm a huge huge fan of QuickTime (mac version), literally the only reason I still have an iMac. I don't think I could live without it
